They say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Well, they lied. You can eat as much sugar as you want, but trust me, the medicine is still sticky and tastes foul. You'd be better off trading in the sugar for firewhiskey.

The other woman, that’s what they called her. One of the more polite names to be sure. She could feel their lingering glares as she strode through the corridors of the castle, she could hear their whispered accusations during lessons, she could feel the mistrust radiating from each and every one of them. And yet, she did not care… and why should she, when she knew the truth?

It had never been clear to Sydney Maura why it was so easy for guys to sleep around and be congratulated for it, yet for girls it was a completely different story. The beauty about Hogwarts was that you could sleep with someone once, just on a one night stand, and then -- BAM -- you’re a Hussy.

I'm Georgiana (Gee) Wood and this is my story.
Yes, my father is THAT Oliver Wood. Yes, my mother is THAT Jane (Perry) Wood. And yes, Aurelia is THAT sister who insists on trying to snog my mates. This is the story of how I went from starting Keeper for Gryffindor, pro-league bound, to injured, annoyed consultant to Albus Potter, Captain. [Based on Keep Away / Hide & Seek, but is a stand-alone story]

My shoelaces hate me. They are possessed creatures that got dirty, frayed, came undone and generally screwed things up (i.e. making me trip over them and fall on James Potter). With something like that against me, I didn't think that my life could get weirder or more complicated.

Here’s what could have happened. I may have snuck out after one of Dad’s rants about the shop. I may have gone to London. Maybe I had a few too many…butterbeers. Brunettes possibly have more fun. I also may have knocked up Ryan Davies, star Ravenclaw Chaser with the dark eyes. But that’s all speculation. Rumors.

My sixth year is when I end my years of solitude and made friends with my roommates and a few other choice charaters. No more eating alone. No more quiet Saturday nights. Who knew life would be so interesting? Scratch that who knew it could be so fun?

I used to pride myself on having a firm grasp on reality. Then life pulled a fast one on me. A real doozy. Throw in an old castle, egotistical pin-heads, new friends, a not-so-new band of dark characters, and I'm proud to admit that my sanity is deteriorating faster than you can say 'Fizzing Whizbee'.

Victoire - she's the girl with wanderlust. You'll find her wading through ruins and speaking with ghosts. She doesn't care much for the owls her family and ex-boyfriend pester her with as she ventures across Europe - she'd rather learn to say thank you in other languages or sip wine under the stars.

Eden: Hufflepuff prefect, proud Quidditch player, and heiress to Witch Weekly, the famous wizarding magazine. She’s managed to avoid the spotlight cast by her heritage so far, but a few embarrassing incidents and a whole lot of unwanted attention is about to change all that. The question is: will it be for better or for worse?
